[00:02] <slicslak> J-_, that means that apache needs access and it isn't an owner of the files
[00:02] <slicslak> so you can try sudo chmod ugo=rwX
[00:02] <slicslak> or you could do chgrp www-data
[00:02] <slicslak> the later is safer
[00:04] <slicslak> you have the same issue with all webapps, i would advise reading up on permissions in general so you understand what the issue is.
[00:06] <maw> anyone know how to send windows events to a syslog-ng server?
[00:09] <slicslak> if aptitude says that a package was automatically installed, how can i determine which package needed it?
[00:10] <anthony> slicslak:  apt-cache rdepends packagename could give hints (although it won't say exactly which one was the case)
[02:36] <mynous> does anyone know why a proftpd download from a server would cause rtorrent uploads on that server to come to a near complete stand still?
[02:56] <mrpockets> hey guys
[03:46] <espacious_> how do i find where are the binarise of some programs?
[03:56] <leugimap> espacious_: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/en/man1/which.html
[04:25] <kyle888> howdy
[06:48] <slangasek> who normally takes care of testing installation of JeOS on ESX for milestones?  those are the only test cases we don't have results from yet on server for final
[07:46] <kraut> moin
[07:46] <lukehasnoname> AHHHHH
[08:58] <Ububegin> hi.. i have set up a server... Whenever, I type http://localhost .. I want it to get automatically directed to http://localhost/ProjA ... How can I achieve this.. Is there some conf file, I can configure to get this result..
[09:48] <scientus_> how do i turn a auto-update on server like on desktop
[09:50] <_ruben> !info cron-apt
[10:13] <soren> Am I the only one whose logrotate seems to rotate logfiles every day even though logrotate.conf says to rotate them weekly?
[10:15] <slangasek> which logfiles?
[10:15] <slangasek> many of mine are rotated weekly
[10:23] <henkjan> on hardy configurated weekly - rotated weekly
[10:35] <soren> slangasek: anything in /var/log, really. Mail logs in particular.
[10:37] <slangasek> soren: not reproducible for me
[10:37] <soren> slangasek: Weirdness.
[10:39] <soren> slangasek: Double weirdness. /var/lib/logrotate/status doesn't even mention my mail logs.
[13:18] <roktangent> Is there a way to install Ubuntu Server with the encrypted LVM option?  I booted a bunch of ISO's I have, but it doesn't seem to be in any of the installers...is it strictly on the alternative CD?
[13:29] <thefish> roktangent: yep i think so
[13:31] <roktangent> Can I installed a no-GUI server via alternate CD?
[13:33] <mathiaz> roktangent: thre is an option for encrypted LVM in the -server installer.
[13:35] <roktangent> Is it only in the latest release?
[13:35] <thefish> roktangent: yes, but also check out jeos for that, its a tiny, really basic install
[13:36] <roktangent> I guess I should have said 8.04 or 8.10....by latest?
[13:36] <mathiaz> roktangent: 8.04 and 8.10 support lvm encryption at install time
[13:37] <roktangent> including the jeos disc?
[13:37] <mathiaz> roktangent: I don't know if you'd have the option on the JeOS disc.
[13:37] <thefish> mathiaz: can you modprobe md_mod from a livecd then?
[13:38] <thefish> that would be useful
[13:38] <mathiaz> thefish: may be - I don't know about the livecd.
[13:39] <thefish> i tried quite a while ago, and no joy, but may have been added
[13:53] <nijaba> mathiaz: yes, LVM encrypted is an option on JeOS (/me remembers that it took a while to have all components in minimal to make it work)
[13:59] <roktangent> nijaba, are you saying iit is an install-time option on Jeos?
[14:00] <nijaba> roktangent: yes it is
[14:00] <roktangent> I'll check it out
[14:01] <nijaba> roktangent: 8.04 has a separate installer while 8.10 JeOS installer is combined with the standard server CD
[14:01] <nijaba> for 8.10 press F4 on the first screen and selection "Install a minimal virtual guest"
[14:02] <roktangent> I got the 8.04 image....it should be on there right?
[14:02] <roktangent> thanks for the 8.10 tip
[14:05] <nijaba> roktangent: right and you are welcome
[14:11] <roktangent> nijaba, 8.04.1 JeoS just says "Guided, use entire disk, Guided use entire disk and setup LVM, and Manual"....no encrypted option
[14:12] <nijaba> roktangent: duh.  I woudl have sworn it was there, sorry :(
[14:56] <yann2> nijaba > I think there are several issues with the bacula package on hardy - should I try reporting bugs?
[14:56] <yann2> many small issues, easily fixable, but which makes it a bit hard to try out  :)
[15:22] <nijaba> yann2: sure, with my full gratitude if you do so ;)
[15:23]  * ScottK just noticed that the title for the Ubuntu Server press release about Clamav/Spamassassin in Main looks a lot like the title of my blog post on the topic. 
[15:23] <ScottK> ;-)
[15:25] <nijaba> ScottK: I'm glad you noticed ;)
[15:33] <madrazr> Hi all, I have a dynamic IP connection. I urgently want to demo a site to one of the persons. So I gave to that person this, http://59.92.223.62/
[15:33] <madrazr> but it says page not found
[15:33] <madrazr> what should I do?
[15:33] <madrazr> what should I change in the Apache configuration?
[15:34] <madrazr> btw, thats my IP, any can try please
[15:37] <nijaba> madrazr: I confirm the 404 error.  Here is the Apache signature I get with it: Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) mod_jk/1.2.25 mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.5.2 PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.3 with Suhosin-Patch mod_vhost_hash_alias/1.0 mod_wsgi/1.3 Server at 59.92.223.62 Port 80
[15:38] <madrazr> nijaba: yeah thats the problem
[15:38] <nijaba> madrazr: when you test locally, what url do you use and what do you get?
[15:39] <madrazr> nijaba: I have many configuration files like, default, drupal6, drupal6.4, ikiwik, I usually use localhost, drupal6, drupal64, ikiwik respectively
[15:39] <madrazr> for local testing
[15:40] <madrazr> nijaba: many files in sites-available I mean
[15:40] <nijaba> madrazr: so http://localhost/ does return something to you.
[15:40] <madrazr> nijaba: yes
[15:40] <madrazr> that works
[15:40] <madrazr> nijaba: all the other URLs I told work too
[15:40] <nijaba> madrazr: you should check your apache log to see if you have some external hits on your server
[15:40] <madrazr> nijaba: just a min
[15:41] <madrazr> nijaba: /var/log right?
[15:41] <nijaba> madrazr: you might be hitting another server
[15:41] <nijaba> madrazr: yep
[15:41] <madrazr> nijaba: should I see access.log or error.log?
[15:41] <nijaba> madrazr: error.log -> 404
[15:42] <madrazr> nijaba: your IP is 82.242.21.186?
[15:42] <nijaba> madrazr: yep
[15:42] <madrazr> Ok
[15:42] <madrazr> nijaba: got the error
[15:43] <madrazr> [Wed Oct 29 21:07:10 2008] [error] [client 82.242.21.186] File does not exist: /home/madhu/mywebdevelopment/drupal6.0
[15:43] <madrazr> I know that directory doesn't exist
[15:43] <madrazr> but how to change?
[15:46] <nijaba> madrazr: that's in your site definition in site-available
[15:46] <madrazr> nijaba: I changed it
[15:46] <madrazr> but still the same problem
[15:46] <nijaba> madrazr: can you pastbin is somewhere ?
[15:47] <madrazr> nijaba: actually when I restart Apache, I used to get this error , http://paste.ubuntu.com/64138/
[15:47] <madrazr> nijaba: what exactly should I paste?
[15:47] <madrazr> nijaba: in the previous paste there is a warning
[15:47] <madrazr> that warning used to come before, now I changed the wrong path to an existing path
[15:47] <madrazr> nijaba: and still the same warning comes
[15:48] <madrazr> nijaba: what shall I paste now?
[15:48] <nijaba> madrazr: on the phone atm..
[15:49] <madrazr> Ok
[15:49] <mathiaz> nealmcb: thanks for the correction on the minutes.
[15:50] <mathiaz> nealmcb: seems that I have to fix my script that generates the email from the wiki page.
[15:51] <madrazr> nijaba: I think I found it
[15:51] <madrazr> nijaba: will confirm in some time
[15:53] <madrazr> nijaba: thanks for the help. I found out the problem
[15:53] <nijaba> madrazr: great!
[15:53] <madrazr> I had written a configuration in httpd.conf unknowingly and did not even know that httpd.conf will override other configuration files in sites-available
[15:55] <madrazr> nijaba: thanks a lot.
[15:55] <nijaba> np, I did not do much...
[15:56] <madrazr> nijaba: reminded me to check error.log. I was not doing this and foolishly trying all sorts of things from past 6-7 hours
[15:56] <madrazr> :)
[15:56] <nijaba> madrazr: glad I could help then
[15:56] <madrazr> nijaba: :)
[15:59] <nealmcb> mathiaz: :)  thanks again for doing the minutes so well - it helps a lot

[18:51] <robd> Hey guys
[18:52] <robd> Is there an easy way to see how fast tx / rx is on an interface via the command line?
[18:52] <robd> I'm looking for something like atop, but just the network speed
[18:52] <robd> and ideally something that doesn't have to muck with the kernel
[18:53] <Deeps> ethtool will tell you what your link speed is
[18:53] <Deeps> bwm(-ng) will tell you current rx/tx rates
[18:54] <robd> Deeps: great
[18:54] <Deeps> ethtool only works on ethernet links mind*
[18:55] <robd> Yeah, it's just a e1000 NIC
[18:55] <robd> I'm just hoping to figure out why my NetBackup server is only receiving data at like 300k/sec
[18:56] <redi> hello
[18:56] <redi> can anybody unlock mandriva channel to enter because they banned me
[18:56] <admin_masu3701> hello
[18:57] <admin_masu3701> am trying to learn networking...do anyone know of a good tutorial?
[18:58] <redi> ?????????????????????????????????????
[18:58] <robd> redi: This is the Ubuntu channel... They have no connection with Mandriva
[18:58] <robd> redi: So no, we can't help
[18:58] <redi> Fuck you then
[18:59] <zul> that was umm...interesting
[19:00] <admin_masu3701> ??
[19:00] <robd> Deeps: Hey thanks for bwm-ng, it looks like a great tool!
[19:00] <robd> see you guys
[19:01] <nealmcb> admin_masu3701: networking is a broad topic, and this is the ubuntu server channel, so I suggest googling with more specifics instead
[19:23] <slicslak> what log should i look in for package installation?  if its syslog, what keyword should i grep for?
[19:24] <zfuser99> Is there a mistake in the ubuntu server guide, mail filtering section, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/mail-filtering.html#postfix-mail-filtering-configuration
[19:25] <zfuser99> postconf is at port 10024 and master.cf is set at port 10025?
[19:26] <sommer> zfuser99: nope, that's correct
[19:27] <sommer> zfuser99: you should be able to telnet localhost 10024
[19:27] <sommer> and 10025
[19:29] <zfuser99> Thanks sommer
[19:30] <sommer> np
[19:57] <tymop_> hllo everybody
[19:57] <tymop_>  i am searching some help with the software tetrinet-server. Can I ask here
[20:44] <andyjeffries> Hi everyone, I'm new to Ubuntu server.  I've admined Gentoo systems for a few years now but am migrating my first one to Ubuntu server.  My question is - after apt-get install uw-imapd, what do I have to do to get it listening for incoming connections (I can't find xinet.d files anywhere)
[20:45] <mathiaz> andyjeffries: are you sure you want to use uw-imapd?
[20:45] <mathiaz> andyjeffries: dovecot is the standard imapd daemon in ubuntu
[20:45] <andyjeffries> mathiaz: I have existing mbox files I have to copy over...  Is there an alternative that will use mbox files?
[20:45] <mathiaz> andyjeffries: dovecot supports mbox files
[20:46] <andyjeffries> mathiaz: OK, I'll give that a go.  Do you have much experience with it if I have issues?
[20:46] <mathiaz> andyjeffries: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/UW
[20:48] <andyjeffries> mathiaz: thanks for that.
[21:03] <andyjeffries> mathiaz: are you around?
[21:05] <andyjeffries> I get an error when I try to login - dovecot: POP3(accounts): open(/var/mail/accounts, O_CREAT) failed: Permission denied
[21:06] <andyjeffries> ls -l /var|grep maildrwxrwsr-x  2 root mail  4096 Oct 30  2008 mail
[21:06] <andyjeffries> (oops missed the line break)
[21:26] <slicslak> is there a repository where i could see hardy online?  i found http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git but this is only for the kernel.  what about the entire distrobution?
[21:27] <mathiaz> slicslak: what are you looking for exactly?
[21:27] <mathiaz> slicslak: packages.ubuntu.com
[21:28] <slicslak> mathiaz, i want to see the default /etc directory as ships
[21:28] <mathiaz> slicslak: well the content depends on which packages you've installed on the system
[21:30] <slicslak> mathiaz, sure, but with no packages installed?  is there a default base?  if recall my sudo questions of yesterday... my host maintains they haven't touched a thing.  so i would like to prove to them that their sudoers files i messed.  but i need an online source to point to
[21:30] <soren> slicslak: With no packages installed, you've got an empty filesystem.
[21:31] <mathiaz> slicslak: the /etc/sudoers files is created by the postinst script of the sudoers package
[21:31] <slicslak> right, so i need to look in that package.  thanks
[21:43] <richf> I set up ubuntu server, but need the GUI at boot rather than just he command line.  I see no inittab in etc and know tha the runlevels in ubuntu are different than in Cent and RH
[21:43] <mathiaz> !servergui | richf
[21:44] <richf> mathiaz, I know.  I installed KDE, am in it now, but want it to start automatically at boot.
[21:46] <richf> mathiaz, I see no /etc/inittab
[21:46] <ScottK> richf: How did you install KDE?
[21:47] <richf> It was months ago, but let me go through bash history
[21:47] <ScottK> richf: If you sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop that should get you a complete KDE desktop with autostarting.
[21:48] <richf> sudo apt-get install kde was what I ran.
[21:48] <ScottK> Install kubuntu-desktop.  It's a more complete set of packages.
[21:48] <ScottK> You can remove extra stuff you don't want after.
[21:48] <richf> Ahh.  Getting 'er now.  I'm used to rh type and inittab
[21:48] <richf> THanks.
[21:48] <ScottK> We don't have /etc/inittab because we use Upstart and not Sys V init.
[21:49] <ScottK> IIRC Fedora has gone to Upstart now too.
[21:49] <richf> Really...
[21:49] <ScottK> I recall reading that.
[21:49] <richf> That's what I cut teeth on, but left at FC5
[21:50] <ScottK> Once that's installed, you can get Kubuntu/KDE specific questions answered in #kubuntu.  It's OT for this channel.
[21:50] <mluser-work> Hello, I just installed ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386.iso.  Installation went fine, but on boot I get a message that sais "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: 0:6 Unable to boot - please use a kernel approprate for your CPU.".. Any ideas?
[21:51] <phaidros> assuming we have a jail whereto users can - using rssh - only scp and sftp into. what would be a proper way to let users adjust their passwords?
[21:51] <ScottK> mluser-work: What CPU?
[21:51] <mluser-work> Pentium M
[21:51] <ScottK> Dunno if that's supported by the server kernel.
[21:52] <mluser-work> The ubuntu download site sais its for (x86 architecture, Pentium™, Celeron™, Athlon™, Sempron™)
[21:52] <mathiaz> mluser-work: right - try to install the -generic kernel instead. Try with the alternate iso rather then server iso.
[21:52] <ScottK> Yes, but that doesn't mean there aren't pentiums it doesn't work with.
[21:53] <mluser-work> mathiaz: 8.04-1 Desktop edition works just fine, can I use the alternate iso to install a non gui ubuntu server?
[21:53] <ScottK> mluser-work: Or just sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop followed by sudo apt-get autoremove
[21:54] <ScottK> That gets you pretty well to the same place.
[21:55] <mluser-work> ScottK: I already have the Desktop iso, can I use it instead and rmove the ubuntu-desktop from it? Or would it be better to use the alternate iso?
[21:58] <ScottK> It gets you to the same place.
[21:59] <mluser-work> ScottK: Thank you
[22:00] <mluser-work> So basically no server optimizations are done by the server iso, other than not installing all the extra gui stuff?
[22:03] <mathiaz> mluser-work: and installing the -server kernel flavor instead of the -generic kernel
[22:05] <mluser-work> mathiaz: thanks, one last question, would it not be easier to just chroot into my server partition and apt-get install the generic kernel?
[22:05] <ScottK> mluser-work: And in tasksel you get some additional options, but you can do that by hand.
[22:05] <mathiaz> mluser-work: that would probably be easier and faster.
[22:05] <ScottK> mluser-work: If you have a working box, yes.
[22:05] <ScottK> I thought you didn't have a running box.
[22:05] <mluser-work> I already have a ubuntu desktop installed on the same box
[22:06] <mluser-work> ScottK: is there some environment script in ubuntu I need to run once I chroot into the server partition?
[22:09] <mluser-work> ScottK: mathiaz: Thanks a bunch guys for all your help
[22:14] <mluser-work> ScottK: mathiaz: Just so you two know.. it worked like a charm.. thanks again
[22:15] <mathiaz> mluser-work: np :)
[23:09] <rrittenhouse> I installed Ubuntu hardy server 64bit and 32bit on two different machines and when apache2 is installed has two different configurations.. is this right?
[23:12] <mathiaz> rrittenhouse: what's the difference?
[23:14] <rrittenhouse> 64bit uses the envvars whereas the 32bit doesn't
[23:14] <rrittenhouse> the config files are different
